SIMATIC Route Control expands the SIMATIC PCS 7 process control system with a sector-independent tool for the configuration, control, monitoring and diagnostics of material transport in pipeline networks or on conveyor belts.

With this integrated route control, SIMATIC PCS 7 can also automate the connecting material transports in addition to the production processes and the associated stores. In this case SIMATIC Route Control can also be combined with SIMATIC BATCH.

In particular SIMATIC Route Control is perfect for plants with a multitude of complex route combinations or extensive tank farms such as are found above all in the chemical, petrochemical and food and drinks industries.
